Fawn Mckay
Fawn McKay Brodie was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn MCKAY, who was brought up in the Mormon Church's First Family, employed her creative talents and research abilities to create an intriguing psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title No Man Knows My History, she used both. This title was inspired by the funeral sermon delivered by Joseph Smith who was the creator of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. The preacher shocked the audience when he said declaring: "You don't even know my name. It's been a long time since you've seen my feelings." My story is not known to anyone. My history is not known by anyone. Fawn (29 year old) wrote that after her confessional moment the three hundred and thirty writers have stood up to the occasion. These documents are not lacking however they contradict each with respect to each other. The task of assembling the papers -- to separate first hand stories from plagiarism by third parties, and then fit Mormon and non Mormon stories together to form an authentic mosaic, is not an difficult job. I find it both fascinating as well as eye-opening. Fawn brodie was highly committed to the task. Thaddeus Steves became a worldwide famous person due to her research and her work. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. The intimate Histories (1974), and Richard Nixon.
